Joel's constantly "beating us up" on the radio.  "We have the best
system", "if it's not an Alarmfarce system, you're wasting your money",
"we haven't raised our rates in fifteen years", "the installation is
free, the equipment is free, the warranty is free, all you pay is a low
monthly monitoring fee".  I've never even seen an Alarmfarce rep (do
they really exist???), just taken out about a hundred of their crappy
systems.
